Run Away

Stop, let me be.
I need my freedom;
It's a part of me.
You have to understand that
I am who I am
And you can't change me.
Besides,
I thought that's how you first fell in love with me?

You saw through my tears
And looked into my soul.
You knew I needed help,
You were there to console.
Now you're different
But I can't explain how.

Maybe it's the serious tone in your voice,
Or the fun that's gone away.
Maybe it's the disappointment in your eyes.
Or maybe that's called shame.
I thought I could make you feel better
After all this time.
But obviously I can't.
And it's killing me inside.

You say all these hurtful things...
Well I'll just say them right back.
I don't like to sound so cruel,
But after being hurt too many times,
Being nice is what I lack.

He came along,
He ruined things,
But it wasn't all his fault.
I wasn't just the victim,
What I'm saying is true.
Can't you just forgive and forget?
Or do you have to keep being rude?

I really love you,
You know that I do.
But you're pushing me away
And there's only so much more I can take,
Before I have to runaway for good.
